Chapter 838

After a short rest, Tsarist Russia launched a second attack.

This time they didn't save any more shells, and a few cannons bombed for more than half an hour.

As for the damage, it is extremely limited.

If dealing with some uncivilized army, this kind of shelling can also be a little deterrent.

But Dahua's army has long been accustomed to shelling and being shelled.

Therefore, this artillery attack by Tsarist Russia did not even achieve the effect of deterrence.

After the shelling, the infantry charged.

This time they attacked from three directions at the same time.

This put some pressure on Hua Jun. After all, Lihe was just a small village, and there was no natural danger.

Moreover, it is more difficult to dig trenches in places where the weather is cold and freezing than in other places.

Hua Jun didn't even dig a lot of decent trenches, just packed the soil with sand and built some simple parapets.

The defensive power of this kind of fortification is much worse than that of trenches, and more than 1,000 of them have to defend three directions, which is not easy.

With the sound of the drums, the soldiers of the Tsarist Russia rushed towards the Chinese army positions.

Immediately followed by the cannon and gunshots of the Chinese army, these two sounds intertwined to form a death movement.

In the process of charging, the soldiers of Tsarist Russia fell from time to time.

As if they didn't see it, the others continued to scream and charge, not knowing whether they were emboldening themselves or trying to scare Hua Jun.

The area they attacked was very large, and the troops were relatively scattered, so many people died, but it didn't seem that the deaths were very tragic, and there was no such a pile of pictures.

In this case, their taxis did not collapse and could continue to rush.

Some weak points in the defense of the Chinese army were not taken care of, and the Tsarist Russia even rushed to the front of the Chinese army.

Then, Hua Jun's grenades began to show their power.

Their unit is still using wooden handle grenades, and the latest grenades have not yet come to them. Also, the already equipped wooden handle grenade cannot be thrown away.

Even wood-handled grenades are more powerful than bullets.

This platoon stationed in this section throws a grenade at the same time, and the effect of the explosion is no worse than the effect of a few field guns.

Many Tsarist Russian soldiers who finally rushed to the front of the Chinese army fell under this wave of bombardment.

"What the hell is this?"

Nicholas paced back and forth in the back angrily.

Finally, an army rushed to the front of the Hua army, and it was about to win.

As a result, Hua Jun suddenly threw such a thing again, blowing up his heroic subordinates.

It's so bad to feel that hope is shattered.

No one answered Nicholas's words.

However, the other generals all had an unpleasant feeling in their hearts.

Hua Jun's methods are too many, one after another, all of which they have never seen before.

These things brought great variables to the battlefield, making them unable to see where the situation was going. They finally began to realize a problem, this war, they are not sure of winning.

On the battlefield, after being baptized by hand grenades, there were only a dozen people left in this assault team.

Instead, they rushed into the Huajun's position, and then started a hand-to-hand fight with the Huajun.

Dozens of people fought fiercely, and in the end, Hua Jun won a tragic victory by relying on the advantage of the number of people.

There were more than 30 people in a row, and in the end there were only less than 20 left.

As for the squad of the Russian army, the entire army was wiped out.

This local danger did not affect the entire line of defense of the Chinese army.

If there were more people in Tsarist Russia just now, it would be possible to complete a partial breakthrough.

However, Tsarist Russia does not have that many troops.

Although their strength was more than three times that of the Hua Army, it was impossible to put them all into the battlefield at one time, so they had to keep some reserves.

In addition, they attacked in three ways, and the troops were scattered again.

There are not many troops assigned to a certain point.

Of course, this cannot be said to be a problem with Nicholas's all-round offensive tactics. If it is not dispersed, the Chinese army can also concentrate on the defense, and will not give the Tsarist Russia a chance to rush to the front.

Moreover, attacking from one side alone, the soldiers are too dense, which is equivalent to sending food to the artillery of the Chinese army.

In short, the failure of Tsarist Russia to seize the opportunity to complete a partial breakthrough was not caused by their tactics, but by the gap in strength.

As long as the weapons and equipment of the Chinese army were a little worse, they would not be able to block this wave of Tsarist Russia's attack.

But now, Tsarist Russia was hit by the powerful firepower of the Chinese army and could not raise its head, and encountered a very embarrassing situation.

They spent a lot of money, but in the end they couldn't make it through.

On the entire front, occasionally one or two points can rush to the front of Hua Jun, but unfortunately, there is a lack of follow-up by the follow-up troops, and the success falls short.

And those places that are heavily defended, the Russian army is even more difficult to move.

Their attack failed.

In desperation, Nicholas could only order a temporary retreat. Even if he ordered to continue the attack, the soldiers below would not obey the order.

After the withdrawal, the Russian army counted the losses, and the results made these senior officials feel nervous.

After two charges before and after, the Russian army lost a total of more than 1,700 soldiers, accounting for more than 30% of the total force.

This kind of loss is unacceptable to Nicholas, 30% of the battle losses,

His army is equivalent to abolishing half.

Even if they take Lihe in the future and destroy the Huajun army, they will still fail.

"Commander, I have to admit that we were careless."

Growan said.

This remark made Nicholas very dissatisfied, but he could not refute it.

"Perhaps, our southern expedition has come to an end, it is enough to defend the territory we have acquired, and there is no need to provoke Dahua."

Another subordinate said.

When he found that Dahua was not easy to provoke, he chose to retreat.

"Do you think that if we don't provoke them, they will give up?"

Nicholas snorted coldly, the two sides have already torn their faces, and it is bound to be a battle to decide the outcome.

Unless he is willing to surrender and then negotiate to resolve the conflict.

Otherwise, Hua Jun would not be able to stop there.

However, this is impossible, and their pride does not allow them to do so.

"I mean to send envoys to negotiate. We still have 5,000 troops, and the big Chinese are definitely not willing to be our enemies. There is a good chance that the negotiation will be successful."

The defeat in the First World War caused divisions within the army.

Nicholas Fu hopes to continue fighting with the Chinese army and destroy the Chinese army.

On the one hand, it is to show the muscles to Dahua, and on the other hand, it is also revenge.

Having suffered a big loss in the hands of Hua Jun, Nicholas was not reconciled.

The other subordinates are inclined to negotiate and make peace with the Hua army, and do not want to consume the strength of the army.

It is a pity that Nicholas V is the commander, the supreme commander.

Therefore, the general direction is still decided by Nicholas V.
